This is the best album I have ever bought! Back in 2002 when Murder INC were prominent on the music scene.

The album boasts great productions and the lyrics in the songs actually mean something. Nowadays, RnB tracks rely on good beats, with a random singer, droning monotonously in the background. This album is refreshing in that respect.

Some standout tracks are:
Track 2: Foolish; which samples Notorious B.I.G, 'One More Chance'
Track 4: Leaving (Always on Time, pt 2) In my opinion the best song on the album! If you liked 'Always on Time' by Ja Rule ft Ashanti, then you would definately like this one, as the beat is similar but speaks about when you want to leave a relationship.
Track 6: Call; This track has a good beat and fantastic lyrics
Track 8: Rescue; Once again excellent production and the lyrics are deep
Track 9: Baby; In my opinion this song has the best lyrics I have ever heard, as Ashanti describes how in love she is.
Track 10: Voodoo; More up tempo track, nice sassy rhythm and good lyrics

Some criticisms of this album is that the first half is better than the second (she goes on a bit of a tangent later) but the quality of the songs on the first half more than make up for that.

Also it may not have enough up tempo songs for some people (its not a party album its a chill out album)

Overall, its a good choice for true lovers of RnB and the best debut of any artist, in my opinion.
